13th May – Den proti rakovině

Each year on May 13, the people of Prague bloom with yellow daisy-like flowers and white ribbons. In the subway stations, organizations like Junák, the Czech Boy Scout equivalent, sell faux yellow flowers pinned against white ribbons to passersby for 20 CZK, or less than $1, each. Before noon, it seems at least one in every 10 people has the quarter-sized yellow blossoms pinned onto a shirt, jacket or purse. The spontaneous appearance of the yellow flowers is the result of the efforts of the League Against Cancer Prague.
